Tube Time...Rufus

In my Grey Gardens search, I found this awkward interview and then wonderful performance by Rufus Wainwright of "Grey Gardens".
Yes, Isaac Mizrahi is clearly in love with Rufus, so the questions are a little strange, and Rufus seems a little over Isaac's demeanor, but the performance is worth it.
I love this song. I think that it is simply gorgeous. Rufus says in the interview that it is a cross between "Grey Gardens" and "Death in Venice", hence the Tadzio references.
Here is the interview and performance...





And here are the haunting lyrics to this gorgeous song...

"Grey Gardens" by Rufus Wainwright


Honey I'm a roller concrete clover
Tadzio, Tadzio

Arm wrestle your mother
Simply over
Tadzio, over you

But beware my heart can be a pin
A sharp silver dragonfly
Trying to get my mansions green
After I've Grey Gardens seen

In between tonight and my tomorrows
Tadzio where have you been
In between tonight I know it's Tadzio
Tadzio don't you fight

Honey can you hear me
In between been dragging a dragonfly
Trying to get my mansions green
After I've Grey Gardens seen

Honey won't you hold me tight
Get me through Grey Gardens tonight

Tadzio, Tadzio
Tadzio, Tadzio

Trying to get my mansions green
After I've Grey Gardens seen
Honey won't you hold me tight
Get me through Grey Gardens tonight

Tadzio, Tadzio
Tadzio, Tadzio

Tinazio, Tinazio
after I've grey pubes seen
Tinazio, Tinazio
30 pounds and I'll be lean
Tinazio, Tinazio
tease that hair some more
Tinazio, Tinazio
all out of that Rave Four

THESE are beautiful lyrics!
